ThisWay Global plans a 73MW data center in Bryan, Texas, called the Research and AI Compute Center (RACC). Located at Texas A&M-RELLIS, it will provide AI and HPC resources to eligible researchers, public-sector organizations, and industry users. The project is planned for a 25-acre site, subject to approvals, and will be developed in phases using closed-loop, direct-to-chip liquid cooling. RACC will provide sovereign AI compute through ThisWay Global’s Amalgamy.ai orchestration software and Sovereign Blueprint framework, supporting research, innovation, and collaboration.
“RACC is an opportunity to demonstrate how AI and high-performance computing digital infrastructure can be developed as an accountable, governed institutional capability, one that can support Texas research, innovation and workforce opportunity,” said Angela Hood, founder and executive chairman of ThisWay Global. “We intend to advance this development in collaboration with A&M-Rellis leadership, local stakeholders and qualified partners, with a focus on responsible infrastructure and meaningful community benefit in the Bryan-College Station region.”
“The future of this development will be shaped by disciplined engineering, collaboration and compliance with the legal, regulatory, contractual and community requirements that apply to a project of this importance,” Hood added.
Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, ThisWay Global provides governed AI and HPC infrastructure to governments, businesses, universities, and research institutions. It has previously supplied a GB300 NVL72 cluster to Texas Tech University. Founder Hood reportedly funded the company’s launch by selling her 1967 Ford Mustang convertible in 2015.
